Stronger Together for a safer today and a better tomorrow

Given the current conversation around sexual harassment a few professionals in public relations, supported by a few organisations have come together to voice their concern for safer workplaces for all. The movement is called #StrongerTogether and advocates zero tolerance towards workplace sexual harassment. The campaign aims to get as many professionals to sign up and pledge to fight this menace. The statement of the first movers is below.

The pledge taken by those who have signed-up is:

“Navigating the rough waters of sexual harassment at the workplace can be difficult and challenging. A lot of times there is pressure to stay quiet and not talk about these incidents or address them. Both men and women go through this. However, the cases where women are victims are far more common.

In light of the numerous instances of sexual harassment that are coming into the public realm, we are coming together as a community of professionals in Public Relations and Corporate Communications to advocate a safe space for sharing experiences. This group will also act as a platform for advice and counsel and will help build a movement for victims to reach out to and get support in any form that would be required.

We want to create an environment of zero tolerance for workplace sexual harassment and assure fellow professionals that they are not alone when they are victimised. In the second phase we invite other like-minded women and men to join this group to ensure a 100% safe and comfortable work environment for all. As custodians of reputation for brands it is our duty to promote a culture of mutual respect within organisations.”
